On a hike earlier this week a question occurred to me. How many trees are there on the planet? When I got home I did some searching of the literature, and found a 2015 paper I vaguely remembered. The paper estimated 3 trillion trees globally, but then I went down rabbit hole trying to figure out what (if anything) that number means. (: 1/4)

"Big, biodiverse and beautiful: can Romania’s centuries-old giant haystacks survive modern farming?" From The Guardian's The Age of Extinction series.

"No doubt there are hunters and anglers who’d rather go down fighting than join hands with tree huggers, as it were. But before they self-destruct they should ask themselves how many people they know who chase pheasants or hunt deer, vs., for example, those who ride bikes, feed birds, hike or paddle a canoe."

"Breaking News: #Kerosene did NOT don a cape and swoop in to save the whales! Unbelievable, right? Apparently, we just kept on exploiting them—shocker! It's 2024, and we're still writing whole novels on how we didn't save anything. "
